Religions: The New Prophets

Updates: Updates happen when all players post orders or every 2 days.

Map & Expansion: They style is a bit different then in IOT, you cannot just claim a province, you must send a missionary to the province and convert the population.You can send at max. Beginning claims 4, no missionaries needed .3 missionaries into one province, it increases your chance of success

Missionary: He will be represented by a symbol (religious symbol you give me) and he costs 2$ to make and 1$ to upkeep. When you get to a certain stage of enlightenment you will get better and newer missionaries. RNG will be used combined with the influence to see if your missionary was able to spread a religion to a province. 7 and above, successful spread of religion, 3-5 unsuccessful you can try again next turn with your missionary and 1-2 Disaster, your missionary is killed

Enlightenment: Similar to tech in IOT you invest money into it and you will get some bonuses

Monastery: Very similar to province strength , gives you money, you can invest in it - Formula 1 point of Strength = +1 Income Per Turn if you have a monastery 3 you must invest 4 for it to go up to lvl 4

Prophet: Name your prophet and you must give him 3 skills and 3 flaws (same numbered skills and flaws can not be picked)

Skills:

1. Magical Powers - gives 10% more influence against the NPC's and + 1 enlightenment
2. Immortal - gives 5% influence and +2 enlightenment every turn
3. Son of God - gives 20% more influence
4. Philosopher - +5 enlightenment
5. Materialist - +2 $ every turn

Philosophic - +2 enlightenment Chinese, Mongols, Japanese

NPC's:
Those are Empires that rule certain regions, they will change during time and expand or destroy your goal is to convert them (were your religion starts the NPC becomes that religion). Influence is a major factor in converting them as well as converting single provinces. Each fully converted NPC gives you 1$

Income: Calculated by this formula
Leader Bonus: L
Enlightenment Bonus: E
Monastery Bonus: M
NPC Bonus: N
Religion type Bonus: R
Missionary Upkeep: U

X=L+(E/2)+M+N+R-U

Enlightenment:Will affect many sectors in the game,there is no tech tree its simply calculated by investing in it with this formula Tech investment>25 new tech lvl,
the next level is 50,the third is 100......I encourage you to make a story line when you advance a new enlightenment level.
